Marrying Someone With the Same Zodiac Sign

Two people of one zodiac sign are still marriage candidates when their 7th houses and D9 Navamsa charts agree, since one sign holds more than one nakshatra. Aries contains Ashwini, Bharani, and part of Krittika. If the couple only shares a tropical Sun sign from a birthday column, they may not even share a sidereal sign on a Lahiri chart. If they do share a sidereal Moon sign, Ashtakoota still scores tara, yoni, gana, and nadi from the nakshatra, and those factors move inside the sign. Same sign can produce a high guna total or a nadi dosha. The sign never casts the vote by itself.

Each person has a lagna. The 7th house from that lagna, the planet ruling it, and Venus or Jupiter as karaka describe the spouse. The D9 repeats the test. Two Leos can have completely different 7th houses because their lagnas differ: one may be Cancer lagna with Aquarius on the 7th, another Virgo lagna with Pisces on the 7th. Their Sun signs matched and their marriage houses did not. Saturn aspecting one person's 7th, or Mars sitting in the Mangal houses for only one of them, belongs in the conversation. A shared element, fire or earth or air or water, describes temperament color. It does not solemnize a wedding.

Even a well matched pair marries in somebody's dasha. The Vimshottari period already running in each chart may or may not be the 7th lord's period. One person can be in a Venus mahadasha, ready for partnership, while the other is in a Saturn mahadasha whose 7th house is delayed. The charts can allow the marriage and the clocks can disagree about the year. Forcing the year because the signs matched invents a muhurta the planets have not given. If a family priest then runs Ashtakoota, listen for the failed factor by name. A same-sign couple with different nadis and sound 7th houses is an ordinary favorable reading.
